Yes!

I've contributed a few FDs here, but believe it or not, today I booked my first one. I had a horrible time booking it. I tried at least eight different booking engines (some which I had never heard of before) before I managed to get the three reservations (friends from different airports) ticketed. I ended up booking each reservation on a different engine. There was no rhyme or reason to the pricing/mispricing. It just required tons of patience and endurance.

I think you were giving life to this thread with a few others, but I guess there is not much to gain and a lot to loose.
True, WWE has been very helpful and generous. Even if there are private forums and PMs going on, hopefully WWE and others will still leak them to us eventually after they squeeze most of the juice out for themselves.

Took a long break from FT and last year flew 102,000 miles and had a blast. Waaaaaaay back (as in a year ago) I would spend many hours reading this thread cover to cover until AW messed it up for all of us. So what's my point? Easy, just installed the FT app on my iPhone and I'm ready to start sifting through the clues again. I was given some help before to get me started before and while I don't want anyone to ruin the many hours I'm going to spend deciphering clues, if some kind soul wants to help start me via PM, I'd love to know what/where is 13 mile?

To give you an idea of how long it's been, I used the A-B-A-C-D fomula as I fly out of both YYZ and BUF.

Cheers and all the best to ft'ers in the new year

OK I get the significance of 13 mile and out of respect for the senior members that have spent hours trying to help n00bs like me, I won't play guessing games or fish in the thread.

I'd still like to bounce what I've figured out off someone who knows, so please PM me anyone wanting a chuckle while I fumbe through this
